Job management for wholesale, bulk materials and multi-site distribution

One order record, end to end

An order should carry its own history: quotation, confirmation, allocation, picking, loading, dispatch, delivery and invoice. When each stage lives in a different system, staff answer customer questions by phoning the yard. When it is one record, the answer is on screen and the audit trail is a by-product of doing the work.

Inventory that reflects reality

Bulk materials break naive stock models. Quantities are weighed rather than counted, moisture and tolerance affect what was actually delivered against what was ordered, and material sits across multiple stockpiles and sites.

• Multi-site stock with transfers recorded as jobs, not adjustments
• Weighbridge tickets tied to the order and the vehicle
• Tolerance handling between ordered, loaded and delivered quantity
• Allocation rules so committed stock is not sold twice

Quarry and rail-link operations

Quarry job management adds constraints most wholesale systems never model: loading shovel and plant availability, haulier allocation, permitted vehicle types, and rail-link loading windows where a slot missed is a slot lost. Scheduling these as jobs against resources — rather than as free-text notes on an order — is what makes throughput measurable.

Accounting as an outcome, not a re-key

Integrated accounting means the invoice is generated from the dispatched quantity and agreed price, not typed again in a second package. That removes the most common source of margin leakage in distribution: differences between what was delivered, what was invoiced and what was paid.

Frequently asked questions

Does this suit multi-site operations?

Yes. Toarando is designed for businesses running several sites with shared customers, stock transfers between locations and consolidated reporting.

Can it handle weighbridge and haulier workflows?

Yes — weighbridge tickets, haulier allocation and rail-link loading operations are modelled as part of the job rather than bolted on.

Can it integrate with our existing accounts package?

Integration with mainstream accounting platforms is a standard part of our work; the right approach depends on which package you run and how invoicing is currently controlled.
